Since I see that this will be my 700 and 24th post, I thought that this entry might be appropriately timed; I had some other things to say, quickly, and so I will edit this post to include more material in a few minutes, but in order to make it 'magic,' I had to jump now...
Seize the moment, so to speak...
Let me begin with these two quotes, which will allow me to employ my 'crow' properly... lol...
And, no... you can't come dressed as the Crow. That soooooo doesn't work...
Peter the Hermit, Calvin, and Robespierre, sons of the same soil, at intervals of three centuries were, in a political sense, the levers of Archimedes. Each in turn was an embodied idea finding its fulcrum in the interests of man.
Pierre L' Hermite, Calvin et Robespierre, chacun à trois cents ans de distance, ces trois Picards ont été, politiquement parlant, des leviers d' Archimède. C' était chacun à chaque époque une pensée qui rencontrait un point d' appui dans les intérêts et chez les hommes.
Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850)
Catherine de' Medici
Chapter XIII: Calvin, 1846
Translated by George Saintsbury
He was thinking alone, and seriously racking his brain to find a direction for this single force four times multiplied, with which he did not doubt, as with the lever for which Archimedes sought, they should succeed in moving the world, when some one tapped gently at his door.
Il y songeait, lui, et sérieusement même, se creusant la cervelle pour trouver une direction à cette force unique quatre fois multipliée avec laquelle il ne doutait pas que, comme avec le levier que cherchait Archimède, on ne parvînt à soulever le monde,—lorsque l'on frappa doucement à la porte.
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870)
The Three Musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires)
Chapter VIII: A Court Intrigue, 1844
Look at the quotes, closely... most coincidental, don't you think? Names, words, dates...
I love it when a good story comes together... don't you?
As to the number 24:
Saint Jerome sees in this number the multiplication of the four elements - the earth, the water, the air and the fire - by the six days of the creation.
It is the habit to represent the crown of the Virgin with 24 florets, containing six flowers (lily, crocus, violet, rose, sunflower, camomile), six stars and twelve precious stones borrowed from the Revelation and the Pectoral of Aaron.
Twenty four is the number of biblical books of the Old Testament - Hebrews and Protestants. This number is obtained by counting for only one book the twelve minor prophets, as well as Judges, Kings, Ezra, Chronicles - each one being generally divided in two books. It is also the calculation of the Talmud of Babylon.
The Chaldeans distinguished, apart from the zodiacal circle, 24 stars including 12 southern and 12 boreal, and they called them the "Judges of the universe".
According to the Gospel of Thomas, 24 prophets appeared in Israel before the arrival of the Jesus Christ. (log 52.2)
Oh, here's something I thought you'd find particularly interesting, under the circumstances... lol...
The Egyptians discovered, 25 years before our era, that the monkey urinated regularly 24 times per day.
In the Greek mythology, the giant Alcyoneus crushes under a rock 24 companions of Hercules before to be transpierced by an arrow of Athena.
The 24 runes of the runic alphabet which each one has a divinatory senses and a magical power.
The twenty four hours of the circadian cycle of meridian lines, dividing the day into equal period. The hours are of Egyptian origin, but the equinoctial hour (60 minutes) is Greek. Formerly among the Egyptians and Romans, the length of the hours varied according to the season.
The human body is composed of 24 elements, whose hydrogen and oxygen are the most abundant with 63% and 25.5% respectively.
The pure gold is called gold of 24 carats.
And, as far as the 'numbers' go, these are also interesting...
The Revelation of John uses on the whole 24 different numbers, that are numbers 1 to 12, 24, 42, 80, 144, 666, 1000, 1260, 1600, 7000, 12000, 144000 and 200000000. However, we find in the Revelation the expression "ten thousand times ten thousand" (Rv 5,11) to mean a number immensely high or innumerable. If we consider it then as a potential number, the total numbers used in the Revelation is not 24 but well 25. But in the NRSV, the number 80 in the Revelation does not exist: instead of "80 pounds", it is rather "talent" (Rv 16,21). In revelations of Maria Valtorta, Jesus declares concerning these numbers that "in times to come will shine the truth on the numbers still obscure written in the Revelation, numbers which are there to indicate the Perfection and the infinite Sanctity, and also the Impiety without measure".
The number 7 is used 24 times in the Koran.
The word judges is used 24 times in the NT and the word lamb, 24 times in the Revelation. In the Gospel of saint John, the words water and spirit are used 24 times.

It is now 10/10 and 11:44... I would like to add this:
...What in the meaning of the number twenty-four (24)? What is the significance of the number twenty-four? The number twenty-four written in Hebrew letters is “kaf-dalet” - כד. The number twenty-four in Hebrew spells out the word “kad” or pitcher.
כד = Twenty-four = kad = pitcher
The number twenty-four is associated with judgment and severity. In some way, unity is also associated with the number twenty-four.
The Creation of Twenty-four
The first usage of the number twenty-four is at the dedication of the altar in the Mishkan (the Tabernacle in the wilderness):
Bamidbar (Numbers) 7:88 And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace offerings were twenty and four bullocks, the rams sixty, the he goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty. This was the dedication of the altar, after that it was anointed.
The concept of twenty-four was created in this pasuk. This pasuk teaches us that twenty-four is intimately associated with the altar in the Mishkan.

Sixty, sixty, and sixty... 606060... 666...
A 'tabernacle' in the wilderness...
I have a picture of a beautiful golden cover that belongs to a 16-th century French 'Book of Hours,'- now why do you suppose that they called it that? There are 24 hours in a day, of course... and this 'cover' represents the Tabernacle in the Wilderness... it seems to have been of importance...
Let me just say that the 'pitcher' referred to here, is 'reflected' in this image, quite nicely, I think...
And a star... arcana number 17...
My friend said 10/10 at 10:07 am...
This is 'Temperance,' or 'Balance'... she is also busy pouring something...
And, you remember 'Temperance' from another thread...?
Star light, star bright...
...just sayin'.
